I have decided to leave Paris tomorrow because the weather continues to be ugly and the forecast is calling for rain tomorrow and Sunday. Since climbing is pretty much out of the question for a while, I booked a flight to Bucharest Romania with a 20 hour layover in Warsaw Poland. I'll check out Warsaw for a bit and then sleep in the airport until my flight to Bucharest. The hostel I found in Bucharest is only 8€ a night which is much better than western Europe.
My last few days in Paris have been fantastic despite the weather. Wednesday night I stayed with my friend Igor in his flat, sleeping on the floor and last night I came back to the hostel where I met even more great folks including a guy from Iraq. I've also met Jay who is originally from India but lives in and is CEO of a company in Chattanooga. He said he hasn't taken a vacation in 19 years and is in Paris for business but happened to stay in the hostel and is sharing a room with me. I'm not letting him work today and we are going to see all the touristy areas of Paris. He's also seriously considering finally taking a journey much like mine where he'd buy a ticket somewhere and just make the rest up as he goes. We plan on keeping in touch so I'm hoping he does it.
